Indian operator Reliance Jio will offer Google’s AI Pro plan with the latest version of Gemini to selected users free of charge for 18 months, following a deal between the search giant and the AI unit of the operator’s parent.

Following a partnership between Google and Reliance Intelligence, users will gain access to Google’s Gemini 2.5 Pro model in the Gemini app, higher limits to generate images and videos with its Nano Banana and Veo 3.1 models, and 2TB of cloud storage, Reliance Industries noted in a statement. It said the package is valued at INR35,100 ($396).

Through the collaboration, Reliance Industries chair Mukesh Ambani highlighted an aim to make India “not just AI-enabled but AI-empowered” where “every citizen and enterprise can harness intelligent tools to create, innovate and grow”.

Google CEO Sundar Pichai added the deal will put AI tools into the hands of consumers, businesses, and India’s vibrant developer community.

Reliance Intelligence will also partner with Google Cloud to broaden access to its advanced AI hardware accelerators, stating the move will enable more organisations to train and deploy larger, more complex AI models, as well as deliver faster inferencing.

The deal also will see Reliance Intelligence become a strategic go-to-market partner for Google Cloud to drive adoption of agentic AI platform Gemini Enterprise across India.

In early September, Reliance Industries and Meta Platforms unveiled a plan to set up a joint venture to develop an AI platform to support enterprises in India and select international markets.
